I really enjoyed the stories of beating depression! Each story has it's own revelation for the author and reader! I have been inspired through relating to some of the everyday feelings and emotions of others. After reading this, I feel the reality of changing positively. It has motivated me to be more self aware of my emotional well-being. I'm also a fan of the change blog. If you want to be happier in your life and learn how to direct it into the way of maximum happiness, I suggest reading this and subscribing to the change blog! Lots of great tools for self development. Nothing but 5 stars from me!

The book deserves the highest rating due to the variance in each author's perspective on how to overcome depression and live a productive and happy life. The book provides good insight on what actions each author took to live a better life. There is something that everyone can take from this book and apply to their own circumstance. A very good read.

This book provided perspectives and approaches for beating the grip depression can hold on one's life. Each contributor shares aspects of the process they used to conquer their darkest times; in most cases links to their websites if the reader wants to learn more. The change blog also provides additional support and encouragement - thank you!

On a personal note, I'm married with four kids (boys aged 6, 5 and 1-year old twins). I was born and raised in Perth, Australia, but currently live in Red Deer, Canada. I'm passionate about books, running, tennis, business, social media, and helping people change.
